Jun 20, 2013 · UnaG belongs to the fatty-acid-binding protein (FABP) family, and expression in eel is restricted to small-diameter muscle fibers. On heterologous expression in cell lines or …

Jul 1, 2014 · New research expands our knowledge of the basic operating principles of the fantastic muscles of bioelectric fish -- and if we stretch it a bit -- hints at the potential to …

Apr 1, 2005 · Eel muscles deliver peak power at much lower contraction frequencies (0.5–0.8 Hz in silver eel, measured at 14°C; Ellerby et al.,2001) than the muscles of trout (2–3 Hz, …

Jun 20, 2013 · Here, we report the cloning and characterization of UnaG, a fluorescent protein from Japanese eel. UnaG belongs to the fatty-acid-binding protein (FABP) family, and …

Oct 17, 2009 · We discovered that some isolated eel skeletal muscle cells exhibited green fluorescence under a fluorescence stereomicroscope, and we successfully isolated a novel …

Jul 15, 2019 · Eels use their high-voltage electric discharge to remotely control prey by transcutaneously activating motor neurons. Hunting eels use this behavior in two different …

Jul 1, 2001 · Our results indicate that red and white eel muscles have uniform properties along the body. In this respect, they differ from the muscle of most non-anguilliforms, in which muscle …
